Allmusic.com / Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Uriah Heep's by-the-books progressive heavy metal made the British band one of the most popular hard rock groups of the early '70s. Formed by vocalist David Byron and guitarist Mick Box in the late '60s, the group went through an astonishing number of members over the next two decades - nearly 30 different musicians passed through the band over the years. Byron and Box were members of the mid-'60s rock band called the Stalkers; once that band broke up, the duo formed another group called Spice. Spice would eventually turn into Uriah Heep in the late '60s, once Ken Hensley (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and bassist Paul Newton joined the pair. Former Spice drummer Alex Napier was the band's drummer for a brief time; he was quickly replaced by Nigel Olsson. Uriah Heep released their debut album Very 'eavy...Very 'umble (called Uriah Heep in the U.S.) in 1970. After its release, Keith Baker became the group's drummer; he recorded Salisbury, the group's second album, before deciding he couldn't keep up with the band's extensive touring and was replaced by Ian Clarke. Salisbury, featuring a 16-minute title track recorded with a 26-piece orchestra, showcased the band's more progressive tendencies. Later that year, Ian Clarke was replaced by Lee Kerslake and Mark Clarke replaced Newton; Mark Clarke quickly left the band and Gary Thain became the group's bassist. This lineup of Uriah Heep was its most stable and popular; beginning with 1972's Demons and Wizards, they released five albums between 1972 and 1975. After 1975, the band's popularity began to slip. Byron left the band in 1977 and was replaced by John Lawton, yet the group's fortunes kept declining right into the early '80s. However, Uriah Heep soldiered on, continuing to release albums into the '90s and 2000s.

Uriah Heep - британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 1969 году в Лондоне, Англия, и заимствовавшая название у персонажа романа Чарльза Диккенса «Дэвид Копперфильд». Первый состав группы сформировался, когда продюсер Джерри Брон пригласил клавишника Кена Хенсли (ранее игравшего в The Gods и Toe Fat) присоединиться к участникам Spice; всемирную известность группе принесли в 1971-1973 годах альбомы Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards и The Magician's Birthday, считающиеся классикой хард-рока. Uriah Heep создали свой, оригинальный вариант хард-рока, насытив его элементами прог-, арт-, джаз-рока и хэви-метала. Фирменным знаком их стиля (в «золотые годы») были эффектные партии бэк-вокала со сложными многочастными гармониями и драматический вокал Дэвида Байрона. Стилистические эксперименты Uriah Heep имели существенное значение для развития рок-музыки; группа, в частности, во многом предвосхитила аналогичные эксперименты Queen. Двенадцать альбомов группы входили в UK Albums Chart; наибольший успех здесь имел Return to Fantasy (#7, 1975) В США 15 альбомов входили в Billboard 200; популярнее других был Demons and Wizards (#23, 1972). Кроме того, четыре сингла Uriah Heep поднимались в Billboard Hot 100. Значительный успех в середине 1970-х годов группа имела в Германии, где сингл «Lady in Black» продержался 13 недель на первом месте в чартах и обеспечил группе награду Golden Lion. Только в 1970-е годы группа продала во всём мире более 30 миллионов альбомов. Cостав Uriah Heep неоднократно менялся, но «классическим» считается квинтет: Мик Бокс, Дэвид Байрон, Кен Хенсли, Гэри Тэйн и Ли Керслэйк.
